An Even ocean Race.

Probably more even ocean race was
never sailed than that between the brig
John D. Spreckels and the barkentine
Amelia, both of which vessels entered port
yesterday, fifteen days from Honolulu.
The John D. Spreckels left the latter
place one hour before the Amelia, and
when the two vessels entered this harbor
the irst-named was but two lengths ahead.
The crafts did not sail in company dur
ing the voyage, the Amelia being the more
fortunate of the two, as she escaped the
rough weather which delayed her COM
petitor during almost the entire voyage
rs. F. Call, February 10th
The tern w. S. Bovine left Honolulu
at the same time as the J. D. Spreckels
and Amelia, but arrived at San Fran
cisco day later.

The Australian Mails.

WASHINGTON, February 14th.-Claus
Spreckels had two hours conversation
with the President to-day. The inter-
view was a pleasant one, and Colonel
Spreckels says that President Cleveland
is thoroughly business man who can
comprehend business propositions. The
subject of conversation was the granting
of extra pay for carrying mails on YES
sells engaged in the Pacific trade between
Australia, Honolulu and San Francisco.
The President was told of the dangers to
the American carrying trade in the Pa
cifc Ocean by the granting of subsidy
to British ships plying between the
South Pacific Colonies and British Column
bia, and he seemed greatly interested in
Colonel Spreckels' presentation OF the
subject. The President is powerless to
do anything in the matter without action
by Congress.

News About the Hawaiian Treaty.

WASHINGTON, February 6th.-It is I'M
derstood that King Kalakaua does not
approve OF the amendment adopted by
the Senate to the Hawaiian Treaty, in
slstlng upon the cession to the United
state OF Pearl River Harbor as a coaling
ana naval station. The Hawaiian Gov
eminent does not object to this amend
ment because it is opposed to the cediup
of any OF its territory to the United
States. On the contrary, it would ba
very glad to make the concession but for
the fact that there are doubts of its 90
ceptance by the House OF Representa-
tives. A simple renewal of the existing
treaty for the period of seven years
would not require any legislation by the

German and French Affairs.

The Munich "Allgemeine Zeitung" pub
fishes Cardinal Jacobini's letter to the
Nuncio at Munich. 1t is dated January
Both. The Cardinal says that in view of
the impending revision of the Church laws
the Pope desires the center to support the
Septennate bill in every possible way, and
concludes: ut is well known the Govern
ment attaches the greatest importance to
the passage of the bill. If by its adoption
it should bs found possible to avoid the
danger of war in the near future the Cen
ter would render great service to the
Fatherland and to the cause of humanity
in Europe by supporting the bill. In the
contrary case, the hostile attitude OF the
Center would be considered unpatrlotlc,
and the dissolution of the Reichstag would
cause embarrassment and uncertainties to
the Center party" Cardinal Jacobini in
structs the Nuncio to urge the leaders OF
the Center to influence their colleagues In
favor of the Septernate and assure
them that such a course would greatly sat
isfv the Holy Father. This advice the
Center positively declines to follow. 1t is
believed that Cardinal JacObini hoped to
induce Bismarck to bring pressure to bear
on the Italian Government to accede to
the wishes of the Vatican. The New York
"Sun's" Glengariff special says: Pope
Leos action in Germany secures the peace
of Europe. The Emperor William will
withhold the warlike manifesto he would
| otherwise have published"
Warlike rumOrS continue. There is
| constant movement of troops between
Metz and the posts on the frontier of Lux
embourg. Constant practice in the re
peating rifle is going on. Orders have been
issued to use it only when the enemy is
between 300 and 800 meters distant.
The Emperor Williams health is failing.
| There are to be no noisy demonstrations or
his birthday.
| An easy victory for the Government is
anticipated in the general elections.
France is making vast preparations fol
war. General BOulanger delayed till the
| Dist issuing orders for establishing line
of posts along the frontier. His object is
to make Belfort take the place of Metz.
The Balkan States.
| A London cable special to the Star
! says: Russian agents in the Balkan
States have been discovered by Bulgarian
authorities in the act of organizing the
Slav population for simultaneous rising
against the Governments of Bulgaria
Eastern Roumelia and Servia. The Pow
ers have been notified of the fact and
asked to call on the Russian Government
or their agents to desist. From the CAPT
tails of each of the above States come
statements tonight that the Russian oc-
cupation of Bulgaria shortly is regarded
as inevitable, plunging the whole of the
Balkan region into the horrors of war.

. THE SUGAR MARKET

The sugar market appears to have been
devoid of all interesting features in the
United States since our last advices. Cuban
has advanced 1-16 cent, which will be
pleasant news for our planters whose
sugars had reached the Coast. The beet
market has declined and all reports indi-
cate very quiet movement.
NEW YORK MARKET.
A fair amount of business in spot stock
has transpired, and there has been also
rather more disposition to buy for forward
delivery, the decline in beet having brought
the European markets within buyers linn
its, and the offerings afoat and for ship
ment from the East Indies and South
America have received some attention.
Values have ruled steady on the basis of
previous quotations, buyers having paid
1 GIG cents for 80 test MuscOvadOs, and 81
cents for 96 test centrifugals. There is
very little prospect that Congress will dis
turb the sugar tariff at this session, and
consequently buyers have more confidence
in providing for their future wants. The
trade is very generally of opinion that all
the unfavorable influences have been dis
counted by the low prices now current, and
that revival of trade will establish more
or less of an advance.
Our latest quotations are:

that she had reached him in time to give
all her young life to his care and service.
His cOat-the one he had worn when
parting from her lay on the bed Her
eyes darkened as she saw the stains Of
blood and the bullet hole. She took it
in her hands, examining it keenly.
There were the pansies, faded and worn,
still pinned inside. The bullet had
passed through just above them.
Had the bullet struck him an inch
lower" one of the men afterwards told
her, sit would have proved fatal"
Perhaps the pansies, by some subtle
influence, had saved him; perhaps her
own spirit, in that moment ofagony, had
passed into them, making them indeed
a real talisman to protect him. She loved
to think this-that God had answered
her earnest prayers by investing these,
her chosen flowers, with the power to
save his life.
1t was only girlish fancy, but it made
her happy. She took the dead, sweet
blossoms and laid them tenderly away.

The next few days brought with them
endless care and anxiety. His life hung
by thread. A woman the men had
rescued from an adjoining ranch came
to assist Jeanette, and not one of the
soldiers but would have risked his life to
have done her service. Her gentle man.
ners won them all, and her patient love,
so pure and brave in its devotion, made
them feel as never before the high grace
and worth of womanhood.
The officers were untiring in their at.
tention to the wounded man, and gave
the girl relief at every opportunity. Still
it was weary task, and when at last he
was pronounced out of danger, she, worn
out with incessant watching, fell into a
stupor from which they could not arouse
her for hours.
All this time the camp had not been
without menace, but the redskins had
been kept at bay until the arrival of
fresh troops. Through all this danger,
Jeanette had been unwavering. Not
one expression of fear had passed her
lips, though she, like all the rest, drew a
sigh of relief when the troops arrived.
Then followed hot pursuit of the In
dians; they were pushed back to the re-
servat on.
Jeanette came to Ned's bedside one
day with look of joy upon her lovely
face.
Med" she cried, with return of hel
old life and spirits, 1.-THE war is over.
Peace is declared, and we are going to
take you home tomorrow.
For answer he silently pressed the
small, warm hand that crept into his
own. Whenever was there sweetheart

When they reached the Springs loud
and wild were the cheers given for the
brave boys returning from the war; and
not only for the boys, but for the brave

eyes splendid with the sunlight of love-

Very pretty decorations can be made
for Christmas by using heads of wheat
and oats. They can be mixed with ever
greens with good effect. Dried grasses
can be made useful in working out scme
of the smaller designs. Mountain ash
and bittersweet berries are charming
when used in evergreen wreathing. If
they are not to be obtained, the seed
cluster of the sumach make good subst-
tutes. If you have autumn leaves in
considerable quantities, they will work
in charmingly with whatever may be
used as the foundation of your decora
tive work. To use nothing but ever
greens gives the place you use them in
a somewhat sober look, and touches of
bright color are needed to produce q
more cheerful tone, and one more fitting
to the season. If clusters of leaves or
berries are placed wherever festoons or
evergreens are fastened against the WALL
the general effect would be vastly more
pleasing than it would be if they were
not used.
For the altar nothing is prettier, es
pecially by lamplight, than crystallizcd
grasses used literally against a back
ground of evergreen. They sparkle like
gems, and suggest natural frostwork. A
most beautiful effect can be produced by
making the words, "a Merry Christ
mas" with letters formed Of these
grasses against evergreen. The back
ground can be made on a strip of cloth
of whatever width is thought desirable,
covered with ground pine or hemlock.
These are better for such purposes than
ordinary pine or cedar. This cloth can
be suspended back of the pulpit, OF
stage, and when the light falls on the
letters they will seem to be formed from
bits of icicles. AS the grasses are brittle
and easily broken after being crystallized,
it is we'll to make each letter on O foun.

A Curious Habit of Ostrlches.

A correspondent at Cape Colony,
South Africa, writes to the Scientific
American as follows: A curious habit
of these birds was witnessed on the
farm Guilford, in tho Queenstown dis
trict, by the proprietor and some of his
family and servants during the late
rains.
The nest, which is merely a large,
flat, saucer-lik hole in the ground, be-
came flooded; and when the water did
not directly drain of, the two parent
birds began to drink it up till the nest
was drained dry.
The poor hen bird was so full that she
seemed quite sick; tho cock, however,
drank his full share as in duty bound,
being the most assiduous in all matters
pertaining to the incubator, always
sitting on the eggs himself by night.

Growing Tea in CeyIOn.

The late Colinderies Exhibition in Lon.
don has brought Ceylon and its indus
tries we'll to the front. Its tea industry,
which had been partially illustrated by
means of photographs, we'll deserves
fuller description. The proposed I'm
perial Institute will also doubtless give
due prominence to the tea of India and
Ceylon-the tea of the future. The ac-
companying sketches, taken at Black
stone Estate, Ambegamowa District, will
give fair idea of the different processes
the leaf has to undergo before it is ready
for the market. When the tea-plants ar
rive at maturity they are pruned and
almost denuded of leaves. From the
shoots which follow the pruning the
tender leaves only are plucked-the bud
with the halfdeveloped leaf and the one
next it. These are called "fush," and
after manufacture are known as Orange
Pekoe, Broken Pekoe, Pekoe Souchong,
Souchong, according to the quality of the
leaf After the leaves are plucked, which
is done generally by women and children,
they are withered in lofts, and then
rolled by machinery. The rolling breaks
the cells and twists the leaves. The
rolled leaves are now left to be fermented
in trays, and when properly fermented
are fred or dried in "sirocco" or drier.
This completes the manufacture. The
sorting, bulking and packing in lead
which follow are the successive stages of
the preparation of the tea preparatory to
the despatch in the country bullock
carts for the railway station. The Ia
borers on tea estates, with the exception
of few Singhalese carpenters, are Tami Is
from Southern India The Tamils wear
a short twisted scalp-lock on their shaven
heads, which peeps from under their tur'
bans. -Harper'S Bggdr.
